As I've installed Open Office and Mplayer from non-official sources, I must exclude them each time I update with yum. Is there a place that I can configure yum so that --exclude=mplayer* and --exclude=openoffice* will always be considered?
I can of course create a bash script my_yum_update.sh but I'd rather actually configure yum. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

There isnt any "official" Fedora mplayer package. For a permanent exclude put "exclude= package x, package y .." in /etc/yum.conf. See #man yum.conf for details.

Thanks, Rahul. That is where I found it. Googling didn't help, then I asked here, then turned to the man. I should have gone there first...
